WREXHAM manager Denis Smith has no qualms about playing Lee Trundle at Leyton Orient tonight following the striker's arrest last weekend.

Trundle missed Saturday's promotion-clinching 5-0 win against Cambridge at the Racecourse because he was arrested by Merseyside police at his Liverpool home after a woman made a series of complaints against him.

But Smith has named the 26-year-old in his squad for the trip to the Matchroom Stadium and he insists the player is "mentally right" to play against the Londoners.

"Lee is in the right frame of mind to play," said the Red Dragons boss. "I wouldn't be taking him to London if I thought he wasn't right to play.

"It was unfortunate for the lad that he missed Saturday's match because it would have been the biggest occasion of his career so far.

"He's upset about missing the Cambridge game but Lee is a strong enough person to come through this."

Wrexham are standing by the 13-goal striker who moved to the Racecourse from Rhyl in 2001 for #60,000.

The club's managing director, David Rhodes, yesterday released a state-ment which said, "The club will continue to support the player who has been released on police bail until October and would highlight that no charges have been laid

against the player."

Smith saw his side secure automatic promotion on the weekend and has now targeted a second-place finish.

"I want to finish second. If we beat Leyton Orient then we're only three points behind Hartlepool," he added.

"If we then beat Bury, and they lose again, then we'll go second. You should always have targets."

The Wrexham players were sipping champagne on Saturday evening - but Smith is now demanding a 100 per cent display from his team in east London.

"I enjoy winning. We won't be taking our foot off the pedal just because we've won promotion," he said.

"We've won promotion and we've done it in style. We've won our last two home games 6-1 and 5-0.

"We've gone up playing good football. People say you can't do that in this division but we've shown that you can.

"My players have only lost eight games this season - only Rushden and Diamonds have lost less. That shows we've also been consistent.

"It has been very difficult trying to win promotion when there's no money here to spend.

"At other clubs I've managed I had some leeway when it came to bringing in players.

"I haven't had that at Wrexham but the players here have come through for me."
